Are you in an on-call rotation, earning standby pay, and wondering how to record it in MCtime? There are two different statuses to consider:
- Standby: When you are available to work (outside of your normal shift) within the on-call period. For this status, add a row and change the Pay Code to Standby Pay. Enter the number of hours outside of your normal schedule that you did not perform any work in response to calls.
- OT: When you do the work (outside of your normal shift) within the on-call period. For this status, add a row and keep the Pay Code as Hours Worked, but add the proper Reason Code for your group (see list below). Enter the number of hours/partial hours you worked in response to a call.
Civilian Scenario A – Standby with No Response Needed:
You were on-call (Facilities, IT and/or CMF mechanic) all day Sunday and then the morning of Monday, prior to your work day. You did not need to perform any work in response to a call.
Civilian Scenario B – Standby with 1.5 Hours of Response Work:
You were on-call (Facilities, IT and/or CMF mechanic) all day Sunday and then the morning of Monday, prior to your work day. You responded to calls and worked 1.5 hours on Sunday.
Uniformed Scenario A – Standby with No Response Needed:
You are a day worker, assigned to PSHQ and you were on-call (Facilities and/or PIO) Monday evening. You did not need to perform any work in response to a call.
Uniformed Scenario B – Standby with 4.5 Hours of Response Work:
You are a day worker, assigned to PSHQ and you were on-call (Facilities and/or PIO) Monday evening. You responded to calls and worked 0.75 hours on Thursday evening.
Group | Standby Reason Code | Word Reason Code |
---|---|---|
CMF Mechanics | FRS072SB | FRS072MR |
Facilities | FRS073SB | FRS073AH |
IT | FRS071SB | FRS071IT |
PIO | FRS077SB | FRS077PI |
Notes:
- Only one person in your group may be in standby status at any particular time.
- You may not be in regular work status and standby simultaneously.
- You may not have more than 24 hours in one day, so remember to subtract any actual hours worked manually from the standby hours.
